Spot on.
Many self-described feminists believe they're deserving of equality when it comes to jobs and pay, but they won't lift a finger to do anything on their own. This is especially true in relationships.
They expect men to be their money tree, pay for dates and almost everything else.
They expect men to get down on 1 knee and do the proposing.
They expect men to be hold open doors for them.
They expect a man to be their fix-it person when they need repairs done, especially car repairs.
If they really believe in equality, they will pay their own way and learn basic mechanics so they can repair things themselves.
Equality isn't a garden of flowers and it isn't free.
Its true a some men have a hard time dating if they refuse to pay and women are within their rights to refuse to date those men. That's what equality is all about. Women can make their own choices. WE are free to reject any man that we want to. And it feels great.
Men do you judge women on looks with first meetings?
Less than I used to.
My physical "type" encompasses a greater range than it once did and am more willing to go outside this range when other things are considered besides looks.
However, in any possible short range to long range relationship I have become less forgiving with the personality and tendencies/habits. Certain things I now find annoying that I might have put up with or didn't bother me as much at a younger age.
What does this have to do with judging on looks on the first meeting?
The amount of bitterness here.... sheesh.
And he blames all those qualities on "feminists." I'd venture to guess that the women who expect or demand those rather traditional behaviors from men are not the women who'd tend to describe themselves as feminists.
They tend to give character and personality more weight. Of course that varies; superficiality comes in both genders. But generally speaking, women have to give intangible qualities more importance, because they're more vulnerable. They need to judge whether a guy is safe to be with, whether he's stable, and for dating--is he considerate, interesting, thoughtful, etc.
This is why you see some women commenting, that they like a guy who makes them laugh, they like a warm smile on a guy, intelligence, thoughtfulness, etc.

Women over 30 are more like that However, I'd say under a certain age that women and men both base who they're wiling to date intially on sexual attraction. If it's not there, it means they'll pass over a guy who makes them laugh, or has a smile as warm as a volcanic eruption. That's just pheromones and evolution at work. No amount of equality is going to change that. Of course, if the American population keeps getting fatter on average like it does, I guess standards will distort to suit the new norm.
